FIFA president Gianni Infantino has called for US President Donald Trump to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize after the war in Gaza was paused.
A breakthrough deal to pause the war was reached on Thursday, with pressure on both Israel and Hamas from the United States, Arab countries and Turkey able to bring an end to a two-year conflict which devasted the Gaza Strip and killed tens of thousands of Palestinians.
Infantino used his opening remarks at this week’s European Football Clubs General Assembly in Rome to highlight the importance of the war ending and talked up the role of Trump, who he has developed a strong bond with ahead USA being set to co-host next year’s World Cup.
“Peace is great news and is giving new hope for all. Everyone around the world should now fully support this peace process. President Donald J. Trump definitely deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for his decisive actions.
“Unity was indeed a key theme of discussions at the European Football Clubs General Assembly and, although it is not directly related to football, I had to open my remarks by stating how pleased I was to hear the news about these encouraging developments in the Middle East.”
